-40 degrees

So, I knew it! I just knew it! I am literally going to freeze my butt off...I am getting transferred to Burns lake!  So, Burns Lake....it’s cold...coldest place in the mission! From what I have heard, it gets down to -40 degrees...nothing an Arizona boy CAN handle! My new companion is Elder Westerguard, and I have absolutely no clue who he is by the way!

Well, besides the bitter freezing cold news, we had an awesome week! So, Yemi is honestly the coolest guy ever! He just moved from Nigeria a month ago, is looking for a job, and taking care of his family all at the same time! If I were to be in that situation, I would be freaking out! That is so much stress going on all at the same time! But, we have been able to help him get started with his job searching through the employment center and he is just so happy! Anyway, I called him up one night.  When we had met him we had given him a restoration pamphlet! Well, turns out that he had been going through it a couple times and he wants us to be able to teach it to him! He also called us this past Saturday saying that he will be coming to church! That never happens!

We were also able to teach Harry this week! He is so cool! Taught the word of wisdom and he said he would also come to church!

It was such a good week though! A lot of tracking, a lot of it! It was awesome though!

Pretty sad saying goodbye to Surrey though! I am literally going to freeze though! This is going to be fun!

Love you all though!

Love Elder McCown
